Chapter 995: Unafraid of the Weather and Hard Work
"Kill!"
"Surrender, I surrender!"
"I caught one alive."
The Tang cavalry was responsible for chasing and killing the Tubo cavalry. The Tang Modao soldiers ran fast, so they only killed the enemy when they chased them. When the enemy knelt and surrendered, they picked up the enemy's weapons and went around to continue chasing.
The Tang infantry behind took the prisoners away to exchange for the people plundered by the Tang.
"Surrender, if you surrender, you won't be killed, you can still exchange them back, surrender..."
The Tang soldiers shouted while chasing, leaving hope for the Tubo soldiers and disintegrating their fighting spirit.
Zhaxi Kure only cared about running himself. He didn't want to be caught. He was a minister in charge of the army. The price Tubo paid for being caught was too high.
Let the slaves be caught. Tubo had many slaves, a lot of thousands of households, and they were both soldiers and civilians.
In the afternoon, the Tang Dynasty stopped chasing and killing.
Unable to continue chasing, the reinforcements behind Tubo came up, and the Tubo defeated soldiers knew to run around after some of them were killed.
The formation of the Tang soldiers chasing and killing was in a mess, and it was not suitable to continue to fight against the enemy.
Everyone gathered weapons and prisoners, and the rear team gathered to guard against Tubo and slowly retreated.
Tubo did not attack, so they helped to gather the defeated soldiers and wait for another battle.
In theory, Guo Zhiyun's battle was a great victory over the Tubo army and achieved results.
There were more than 7,000 Tubo people captured, and about 10,000 were killed. There was no exact number, and the data on the battlefield was never accurate.
However, the usual practice was to report more rather than less. The soldiers who fought said how many they killed, and generally no one objected, so the person in charge of recording wrote a few.
If ears and heads were needed to prove it, the enemy's ears and heads had to be cut off, and this number was accurate.
The disadvantage was that it was easy for the army to gain very little, and thus kill innocent people to take credit.
The army gathered and cooked.
Tubo sent people to the battlefield to drag the bodies of their own people, and the Tang soldiers did not take the opportunity to chase and kill them.
Otherwise, the Tang soldiers would have to deal with the bodies, and when the weather got hot, there would be a plague.
A large number of Tibetan weapons were classified and piled together, and the cries of wounded soldiers were heard in the camps.
Forty hot air balloons were pulled back. They lowered their altitude and threw down ropes when the place below was full of their own pursuers.
Then they controlled the blowtorch, and several soldiers on the ground grabbed the rope and dragged it away. This must not fall into the hands of the Tibetans.
In fact, it doesn’t matter if it falls. The blowtorch can be dismantled, but the Tibetans can’t take out alcohol, gasoline, and diesel.
"This is what a fucking war is called. Chasing all the way, my legs are sore."
"Take a day off and continue to advance tomorrow."
"Occupy the Jiuqu land and don’t go back."
"They run too fast, and I dare not resist, otherwise we will kill more."
"If they resist, many of us will die, so this is good."
The Tang soldiers ate and drank in their own camp, talking about the battle happily.
The dead soldiers did not affect their excitement.
Wang Junkui and Guo Zhiyun sat opposite each other, and stewed mutton was placed on the small table in front of them.
The people in the rear garrison area gave it as a reward.
The people hoped that Guo Zhiyun's army would occupy Jiuqu, so that the people could go to Jiuqu to graze.
There were too many mountains and gullies in the people's own area, so it was okay to graze goats and a small number of cattle.
Sheep were not full when they were on the mountain, and they were easy to fall and die.
If Jiuqu could be taken, the people would be willing to cross the mountain to live and raise more cattle and sheep.
Life here was too hard, and the good places were not theirs.
"After eating this meal, you must defend Jiuqu." Wang Junkui looked at the basin in front of him and knew that it represented the people's expectations.
"What else? Li Yi kept giving things, what did he want?" Guo Zhiyun made up his mind.
He was 99.9% sure that the Tubo soldiers who ran over would make a big fuss about the battle today.
How the hot air balloon was hit, how the sky monkey exploded, and how his formation was messy.
This was not a crime of war, and there was no weapon like the Tang Dynasty.
"Li Yitu has occupied the entire Yellow River Basin, even the source of the Yangtze River. Tubo can only be driven to higher and colder mountains. It will be difficult for us to fight then." Wang Junkui showed a trace of worry when talking about the Tubo area. The current place is actually very high and also relatively cold. But it is still not as good as the western part. There are fewer soldiers who can fight, about 60,000 to 70,000 in total. How to deal with logistics for 60,000 to 70,000 people to adapt to the climate? "You don't know that His Majesty has recruited 30,000 strong soldiers, paid them, and now they are training on Mount Taibai in Jingzhao Prefecture. Logistics let local people help with transportation, and the people adapt to the same climate and altitude." Guo Zhiyun is not worried, Li Yi is following behind. Wait a few years, there will be soldiers, weapons, and supplies. Guo Zhiyun doesn't know the altitude, he only knows that the local people can be laborers. The altitude here is more than 3,700 meters, and the higher mountains behind are more than 5,000 meters, and there is snow on the mountains. The people live here all year round and send things to the plateau. The altitude of Tubo is not more than 8,000 meters.
In fact, the altitude of most places in Tubo is more than 3,000 meters.
Some soldiers of the Hexi Jiedushi are not comfortable now because the climate here is on the plateau.
If people living in the Shu Basin are brought here, they will not be able to bear it for a long time.
"If there are more flying monkeys, we can defeat the enemy without fighting. It's not that the enemy retreats, but that the enemy surrenders."
Wang Junkui saw the power of flying monkeys through today's battle. They can explode a large area and fly a long distance.
If he were the enemy commander, his only option would be to run immediately, as far as he could run, as fast as he could run.
Guo Zhiyun nodded: "While the weather is warm now, we should fight and occupy more places to see if we can build a fort. Let's eat."
The two of them ate, and the mutton was not tasty. There was no seasoning, just the local grass with flavor thrown in to cook.
The mutton tasted smelly, because it was goat meat, eating grass, and it was a male goat.
The two of them fished out a few large pieces of meat, called their personal soldiers to come over, and took them out to share with everyone.
The other generals below also ate a little, tasted the taste, and took them to the injured soldiers.
The injured Tang soldiers had bamboo tubes of canned fruit, braised pork, and chestnut chicken cans. UU Reading www.uukānshu.net
In the past, injuries were considered to be slightly more serious, and after simple treatment of injuries and diseases, it was up to fate. Put them together and hum, and some hummed and lost their voice.
They were abandoned, and the wounded soldiers themselves knew it.
Knowing that he couldn't make it, he simply committed suicide and was carried out.
No one commits suicide now. There are ways to treat wounds, and there are also medicines to drink, which can relieve pain and inflammation.
Why not expect a miracle, maybe you will survive.
Several people share a can of fruit and encourage each other.
What they feel is not indifference, but the best things are for themselves to use and eat.
The Tubo people are in no mood to eat now, and they are all dejected.
Zhaxi Kure looked at the roasted lamb in front of him and couldn't eat a bite. He was recalling how he lost.
It felt very fast, without any formation adjustment, troop restraint, or cavalry cruising.
It was just that the hot air balloon flew over, and they hid themselves, and the hot air balloon flew to the back to blow up the rear army.
There were so many sky rockets in the intelligence, and with a bang, the formation was missing a piece.
Then there were hot air balloons and sky rockets, and then the soldiers collapsed.
